SiInmerinU Versus Boiling.

In all ordinary cookery simmering at $50
degs is more effective than violent boiling at
2l2 dogs. The heat that is applied to do more
than the smallest degree of simmering is
simply wasted in converting water into use
less steam. For instance, if stewed chicken is
ordered and happens to be late, it is cut apart,
thrown into boiling water and boiled at gal
lop for an hour, then served with an apology
that there was not time to cook it tender;
when that same chicken, if thrown into boil
ing water and then pushed back where it
could not possibly boil, would have been
tender, more juicy and higher favored in less
than the hour

Progress in the Arts of DESIGN.

The cup presented By the New York Yacht
club to the owner of the Mayfower in honor
of her victory over the Galatea, which is on
exhibition in q Washington street window,
suggests the progress which has been made in
the arts of design for such articles within
comparatively few years. 1t is not very long
since the trophies in silver which common.
GRATED the exploits of our sportsmen on land
and sea were of the crudest artistic character,
and the very elaborateness with which they
were wrought out showed their defects the
more strikingly. When figures of human be-
ings or animals were attempted the effect was
peculiarly distressing, as knowledge of draw
ing was obviously not among their designers
gifts, and the finish of mechanical execution
set of all the defects of this work. The May
flower cup is not great artistic production,
but it is simple and in good taste, and its Or
namentation is suggestive of the purpose for
which it was given, as we'll as the associations
of the name that so worthily symbozcs its

A Plucky PlOwbOy.

Two years ago a farmer in Phelps, N Y,
died, leaving widow, four children and an
$1,000 mortgage on the farm Tho eldest
child, boy Of Is, set to work at once to try
and carry on the farm, and, according to a
local newspaper, he has succeeded remark
ably well. He has plowed the fields, sowcd,
cultivated and reaped; he has had sole
charge of large number Of cattle and horses
on the farm; he has managed retail milk
business, and has himself marketed all of the
farm products. Last summer he found time
after his work in the fields to paint the house
twice over and to build five new fences. In
winter he not only attends to the necessary
work about the farm, but teaches a country
school three miles away, fells timber in tho
woods on Saturdays, and writes excellent let
tiers to the local newspapers The farm is
not only out of debt and in splendid condi-
ton, but the lad and his mother have enough
money on hand to buy twenty more acres Of
land.-New York Sun.

Photographing the Chinese Minister,

Mr.. Chang Yen Hoon, Chinese minister,
sat for his photograph in Washington recent
ly. His servants carried up to the photog-
rapfrer's room two or three trunks and Several
smaller cases, in which were ten or dozen
changes of costume The minister was "done"
in each of these and in as many different
positions. He wore a silk cap, in the center
of which was large diamond about the size
of hazelnut. The cap fitted SO closely that
the diamond looked like huge star set in his
skull. From the cap foated long peacock
feather. Around his neck was a necklace of
three chains, each Of which was about yard
long, composed of precious stones, every sixth
of which was diamond. His interpreter,
one of the party, said the aggregate value Of
the jewels was about million of dollars
The different costumes were composed Of the
richest silks and satins, embroidered with
solid gold and trimmed with richest furs.-

Besieging a Lunatic.

A crazy man, by name Wetterlind, recent.
ly terrorized the Swedish town of Gotcborg
for more than a whole week. He had locked
himself in the top story of house whence t.
commanded wide sweep of street, and
marked and fired at any and everybody who
approached. After he shot one man dead the
firemen attempted to drown him out, bu,
could not get near enough, as the man was a
dead shot. They next made iron shields to
protect them in the approach, but these prov
ed too cumbersome. An attempt to dislodee
the lunatic by throwing dumbbells charged
with electricity at him had to be abandoiud
A barricade was then erected around the
house by the police and regular siege laid to
it. The lunatic stood it week before he was
starved out, and was then seized by strategy,
too week to defend himself He had wounded
a number Of people from his perch during the

Fun with q Sparrow.

Some boys in Richmond, Va. had fun with
sparrow the other day. Upon pigeon box
in the yard was affixed piece of looking
glass. The male sparrow would get as mad
as possible at the reflection of his image in the
mirror, and fight it furiously by the hour,
flying repeatedly so violently against the
glass as to knock himself backward in the air,
from whence he would return with increased
violence and vim until he would have to rest,
with his wings dragging, his mouth open,
and his sides painting. After resting awhile
he would pick up small gravel stone in his
bill and renew the attack, striking the glass
with the gravel with all the impetus his wings
could give him, and thus he would continue
until conf ,letely exhausted.-Chicago Herald.
